The page which comes up has the File symbol against most of the items there
along with the dates but there is one at the bottom whose symbol is a box
with blue & red dots in it. It is called .plugin141_03.trace. Could that be
doing something to Outlook Express? Sorry to be so computer illiterate!


No. That icon is what is known as an image placeholder.
You would see it for all images if you had Show Pictures unchecked
(in IE Options, Advanced tab, Multimedia section).
If you are seeing it with Show Pictures checked it could be an indication
that the filetype of the image file is not known or supported. E.g. if the filetype
of the image file was known or supported and it could not be rendered
you might be more likely to see a different icon, known as a Red-X instead.
